Release day is upon us. I can’t get the theme song out of my head, which is a good thing. Nothing gets me more hype than nah nah nah….nah nah nah…de de de de..de de de de…de. With only a day to go, my anticipation just keeps growing, now Nintendo has made it all official like (I’m talking about Punch-Out! if I didn’t make it obvious) …

A few months ago, I wrote a post about Swords and Soldiers. In said post, I mentioned how it was a travesty that I let this game slip under my radar. Well, I let it happen again as I hadn’t mentioned the game again until now.

Swords and Soldiers will be releasing in Europe and Australia today. Romino games has provided a press release for the game’s release, and in it they state that they’re working on getting the game to the US as soon as possible…

UTRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS â€“ May 8, 2009 â€“ Grow a beard, sharpen your steak knife and pick up your axe! As Vikings, Aztecs and Chinese battle for world domination, prepare for an encounter with a freakishly large pepper: Swords & Soldiers is out!

At long last Ronimo Games released their highly anticipated game, Swords & Soldiers. The game is available in Europe and Australia for WiiWare on May the 15th 2009. 1000 Wii Points will get you a fresh and innovative side scrolling realtime strategy game with lots and lots of strategy, action and content.

Along with the press release, Romino Games is showing off their game with a brand spanking new trailer. Enjoy.

I must admit, I’ve never played any of the games in the Monster Hunter series. All I know about the game is that it’s taken over Japan, and that there’s monster hunting of some type. The game has been given a release date in Japan (August), hopefully some news of a US release isn’t too far off.

I’ll tell you — nothing brings family closer together like partying it up all pirate like. Then taking to space, to blast down some enemies…

Gotta love family fun nights.

There’s very few things in this world that you can never get enough of. Pizza flavored Pringles, and Contra. The world will always need the insane two player action of Contra, if nothing else to provide hours of intense challenge. That few have escaped without breaking a couple of controllers.

Not too much is known about the game at this time. The release date for Japan is May 12th. It will be releasing on WiiWare for the tune of a 1000 Wii Points. There also happens to be screenshots available..enjoy.
